John Mullane retires.

Yep, here is a better analysis of the stats of scores from play.
http://www.hurlingstats.com/blog/archives/553

Mullane comes out tops since 2004.
Corbett is equal with him on the averages. Corbett did fatten his average by bagging 4-4 from play in a 7 goal turkey shoot of Waterford in 2011. And shrunk it by not scoring in his last 4 games.

You also got to bear in mind Davy Fitz's uber defensive tactics where he'd everyone barring Mullane and another forward in the top 50 yards of the pitch, made it damn hard for teams to score against them but hard on the two forwards to get scores as well.

Certainly one of the most dangerous forwards of his era, I'd put him slightly ahead of Corbett as he could win his own dirty ball which wasn't Lar's game. Lar preferred to use his pace to pick up loose ball bouncing around a defence. Both knew where to put it when they got it though.

Why will he be sadly?

[waterfordlad]

I enjoyed that programme yesterday. It covered the up and downs of John Mullane and Waterford from his debut in 2001 to his last year in 2012. He gave some performances over that time and deserved the tributes he got from the likes of Donal O'Grady and Ger Loughnane.

[Sea The Stars]

Is there anywhere or time to watch this program again?

Mullane was a great warrior and a brilliant hurler too. Loved his passion but what a hurler too. He used to swing over some unbelievable points from ridiculous angles. Deserved an All-Ireland like so many of his Waterford team mates - Shanahan, Browne, McGrath, Flynn.
